How much energy can a water wheel produce?
The potential energy (water flow due to to different water levels) transforms into kinetic energy.
How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transfer by a moving object?
In energy Transfer by waves, the energy moves through the the medium, for example the water, but isn't carrying the water with it. In energy transfer by a moving object the energy is traveling by means of an object. So, energy transfer by waves can be pictured as a person (the energy) swimming through water (the medium) and energy transfer through an object can be pictured as a person (the energy) riding a bicycle (the object) In the first case the energy itself is moving through a medium, where in the second case the energy is using its power to move by use of an object. Hope this helps you understand!
What type of energy is produced from the water wheel?
mechanical energy
What transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact?
The transfer of energy from land and water to air by direct contact is called conduction.
What are some examples of water energy?
Hydroelectric energy comes from the movement of water (the prefix "hydro-" means water.) Any transfer of energy from water movement to anything electrical or mechanical is a form of hydroelectric energy. The best examples are dams. A dam blocks moving water and forces it through a confined space, where it can do mechanical work or be converted to electrical work. Another example could be a mill wheel being used to grind corn. Yet another could be an old-fashioned paddle-wheel boat (although that's chemical energy from the burning of coal being turned into mechanical energy turning the wheel that results in the boat's forward motion.) Technically those last two examples are hydromechanical rather than hydroelectric, but you get the picture.
Where do waves transfer energy?
they transfer energy through sound water and air.
How much energy can a water wheel produce?
The potential energy (water flow due to to different water levels) transforms into kinetic energy.
How is water converted into energy?
By using the water to drive a turbine or a water wheel or pelton wheel.
Was the paddle wheel for energy?
The paddle wheel was used to convert the energy of moving water into mechanical energy, which could then be used to perform work, such as grinding grain or sawing wood. The flow of water would turn the paddles on the wheel, causing it to rotate and transfer the energy to a connected mechanism.
What is hydraulic energy?
Hydraulic energy is an energy transfer from the water to waterwheels and mills.

How do you transfer hydro energy?
You have alot of water
What type of energy is produced from the water wheel?
mechanical energy
What transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact?
The transfer of energy from land and water to air by direct contact is called conduction.
What is a water wheel used for?
Provide energy.
How do you perform energy transfers?
A simple way to illustrate energy transfer is to put an ice cube in a glass of water. The heat energy from the water will transfer to the ice cube until thermal equilibrium.
Why do water molecules retain heat energy?
Water molecules retain energy due to heat transfer.
